Pub & Restaurant Play Areas

Anyone who has young children knows the pain of trying to go out for dinner or a drink. What most people see as a relaxing treat can turn into an embarrassing nightmare where you put yourself in damage limitation mode and try to rush through the meal as quickly as possible to escape the whole situation! Imagine if going out with you children wasn’t like that… imagine if it was relaxing and enjoyable. Is that really possible? As a father of four, our founder, Russell Bowlby, knows only too well what it is like to go out with young children, and made it part of our company’s mission to improve that experience for all. As a result, many of our pub and restaurant clients have now become very popular with families as you can see from the reviews below.

The Secret To Relaxation: Excite & Engage

The secret to a relaxing going out experience is to keep everyone happy. Unless you have little angels who can sit through boring adult conversations, this means that children need to be provided with an exciting and engaging play environment. We design and construct indoor and outdoor pub and restaurant play areas that children actually have fun using, encouraging families to come back again and again. The venue then becomes known as family friendly, encouraging business throughout the day, and parents are more likely to return in the evening if they have a ‘night off’, resulting in much more business all around.

Our Outdoor Pub & Restaurant Play Areas

Occupying a rural setting, we built a natural looking rustic playground for this village pub that has a passion for local food and drink. With outdoor seating nearby, children can run for hours whilst being watched by their parents, making a family venue suitable for all. See more pictures here.

As part of a two million pound redevelopment, we made a rustic adventure play area at this gastro pub and restaurant that features indoor and outdoor seating. The play area is completely enclosed to prevent child runaways and the upper levels can be accessed by gently sloping access ramps for less physically able children. See more pictures here.

Nestled by the outdoor seating area, we created a memorable pirate ship play area for this pub in Conwy. It immediately appeals to children and can engage them with multiple climbable levels and the opportunity for fantasy play. See more pictures here.

Our Indoor Pub & Restaurant Play Areas

Pirate themed from the inside to out, Smugglers Bar & Grill is a delightful restaurant in Amroth where we built a pirate themed indoor play area. In view of the restaurant seating, children can entertain themselves whilst adults relax and the family friendly vibe keeps visitors coming back again and again. See more pictures here.

Historically, service stations offer poor quality food and services… fairly ironic considering the name ‘service station’, isn’t it? The Westmorland Group however, decided to do things properly and serve high quality food whilst providing facilities for children to play, helping to break up long journeys so that their service area becomes a target more than a convenience. We built indoor and outdoor play areas on each side of the M5 motorway. See more pictures here.

Creating A Family Friendly Pub Or Restaurant

Offering an engaging and exciting pub or restaurant play area is a key element to creating a successful family restaurant. If parents and children can be happy through a meal, they are far more likely to return and to spread the positive news to other families. If the food is equally good, families will come back again and again – we have seen our clients achieve great success by incorporating a play area into their pub or restaurant. And if it’s memorable, like our bespoke play areas are, children and parents alike will remember your venue and think of you when they make plans to eat or drink out.

If you are looking to commission a pub or restaurant play area, please get in contact with us and we will walk you through the design process. With decades of play area design and construction experience, we can work from strict plans or create something entirely from scratch, no matter what size space you have available.
